Rattlesnake Calathea sport ( sorry the first post was missing pics)
I have only just heard this term sport in the context of plants a few days ago. I love my plants, I buy too many, and the past 5 years of my life have been learning about what I have and what I can and can't grow where I am. I had thought I had done something wrong with my rattlesnake. My first thought when I saw the leaf spike was damn maybe I over watered, but as the days went on no other leaf was effected and this leaf kept growing normally. The colour is not normal though. So here I have a fairly happy plant with an odd but beautiful leaf. I cant figure out if something is wrong or if I simply hit a brief random plant lotto. This plant has been trough a lot with me and while I have read this plant can be dramatic it has survived a lot and never had any problems. Any info related to this leaf will be very much appreciated.
